Hello everyone! I hope you are weathering this storm well. This is a challenging time for our industry across the world and we need to stick together more than ever now. We are only beginning to see the effects of this and we will all have to continue doing our best, day by day.
I’m doing my best to continue to support our industry through You’re 86, and I wanted to share a list of COVID-19 resources for the bar and restaurant industry I received today from the United States Bartenders Guild, in case you don’t receive their mailing list. Some are San Francisco Bay Area specific, but most are applicable to everyone. I would also recommend joining your local chapter of the USBG, as it’s an invaluable resource for our industry.
Scroll down for the list of resources and please do stay connected. Feel free to reach out to me and share You’re 86 with your friends and colleagues. This is a great time for learning and personal growth when we can’t be behind the stick, and our guests in past episodes have so much amazing experience to learn from. I’m getting a system for mobile interviews set up and hopefully we can start sharing conversations soon. Please reach out if you would like to share what’s going on in your area. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay strong and stay connected. We’ll get through this!
